THE CRITICAL AGE FOR GIRLS
If you have girls on in their teens, that is the age at which your influence will make or mar them. Everything you teach will stick, and if you teach ill there will be an ill harvest. If you are wise, you will see to it that they grow up with a thorough knowledge of household science. Every woman should be an expert in the direction of a home. Make the girls understand that make-shifts and inferidr things are always bad and foolish. Impress on them the importance of knowing exactly what they are using in their cookery ; what is good or bad, wholesome or unwholesome. Thus, you will teach them that all impure or inferior baking-powder is actively injurious to the human system. For that reason they will get baking-powder like Shetland's Moa Brand, which contains no dangerous drugs and is in every way fastidiously pure. Tell them that all good grocers sell it. , Send post card to Shetland and Co., Ltd., Wellington, for free 'Santplfe'tin. Retail of all stores at 6d, Is and 1/6.
